Formula Used

The calculator performs basic arithmetic operations based on the selected operation:

Addition: Result = Value 1 + Value 2

Subtraction: Result = Value 1 - Value 2

Multiplication: Result = Value 1 × Value 2

Division: Result = Value 1 ÷ Value 2

These formulas are applied to both positive and negative values, ensuring accurate results regardless of the input signs.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Adding Positive and Negative Numbers

Let's say you have Value 1 = 10 and Value 2 = -5. Selecting "Addition" and clicking "Calculate" will give you:

Result = 10 + (-5) = 5 (positive)

The result is positive because the negative value reduces the positive value.

Example 2: Subtracting Negative Numbers

If Value 1 = -8 and Value 2 = -3, selecting "Subtraction" gives:

Result = -8 - (-3) = -5 (negative)

Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its absolute value.

Interpreting Results

The calculator displays results in different colors to help you quickly identify the sign:

Green indicates a positive result.
Amber indicates a negative result.

Understanding the sign of your result is crucial for making informed decisions. For example, a negative financial result might indicate a loss, while a positive result could represent a profit.
